Tips for customizing your Greek Sheet Pan Dinner –

- Finish with a drizzle of tzatiki or hummus.
- Boost the marinade flavor with crushed red pepper and a variety of herbs like basil or thyme.
Meal Prep Idea :The next day, we took the leftovers, chopped them up and made beautiful salads…which honestly, I loved so much that I’d make this again just for the salad opportunities.

This is an oldie but goodie. I make this with chicken thighs, it takes five minutes longer. I also like to make the marinade ahead of time, put everything in it. It goes into the fridge and I cook it later.
Beth says
Easy and delicious! Putting it in the salad was actually better than just the sheet meal on its own, so I was recommend making a salad from it every time!
Kathy Hertzel says
Made Greek sheet pan chicken for dinner tonight for the family. It was a big hit for everyone from 2 to 60’s! Great flavor and easy to put together & clean up!
Corliss says
My chicken-hating wife actually liked it! Keeper! Thank you so much!
Kathi & Rachel says
Now thats a big compliment! Thanks for the note!
Emily Roback says
I am so excited to make this tomorrow! I am going to pair it with homemade tatziki with dill from my garden and whole wheat pita!
Question – would you increase the cooking time for bone-in thighs? Thank you so much!
Kathi & Rachel says
Hi Emily – yes, you will need to increase the cooking time by about 15 minutes. Internal temp of chicken should be 165 degrees. Hope you love it!
Melissa says
My husband and I made this together last night, we had such a good time playing around with the recipe until it was just to our taste. I can honestly say it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite dinners! We omitted the lemon and whole garlic cloves, but instead minced the garlic and sprinkled it all over ten minutes before the end of cooking time. We also added artichoke hearts and black olives (can’t get enough of those olives!!) We served it with tzatziki sauce for dipping, and wow- I’m having leftovers right now and I can’t say enough about how incredible it is 🙂 Thank you so much for an amazing recipe!!

We loved this dish! The Greek marinade added the best flavors, and it was so quick and easy for a weeknight when I don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. This is definitely worth putting on your rotation!
